In the modern world, human life experience is largely played out in interior spaces. We may love the out-of-doors for the sense of open air and sky, for the escape it offers from life inside enclosure, but the very joy of being outside reflects the reality that so much of life is spent inside. At CGLS, we approach interior design as part of the architecture as a whole. We design the entire building including its interior spaces to flow together and have a sense of presence in the community. We pride ourselves on listening to our clients and providing them with an integrated design that suits their purpose and design goals.
We believe that proper master planning is critical to the ultimate success of any project, especially those facilities and campuses that will grow and develop over time. Only when the total picture is understood can any specific portion be correctly designed to its ultimate potential. Our associates enjoy the investigation and dialogue that is necessary in the master planning process. Our multi-faceted architectural experience brings a well-rounded perspective to how a site can be developed. Whether it is a hand-drawn site plan sketch or computer generated diagram, CGLS Architects can provide the graphic medium needed to convey the client's needs and desires in a method that is clearly understood.
CGLS Architects, Inc. created a unique practice that goes beyond architectural design. By listening to our clients and focusing on the needs of the community and surrounding environs, we approach our projects with unique design elements as well as costs-conscious solutions. We understand that a well-balanced design includes coordination of economic and political factors to accomplish a profitable and successful project. CGLS brings to life vital, responsible and memorable design solutions.
